Colin Crewdson

Qualified 27 years ago after a career spanning teaching and archaelogy, farming and psychiatric work, both at home and abroad, and established St David's Osteopathic Clinic in 1985. He concentrates on using Cranial techniques in his practice and likes the challenge of helping to unravel difficult and chronic problems. He is also interested in problems involving the internal organs of the body, "visceral osteopathy".

Colin's hobbies tend to revolve around the natural world, gardening, tree planting etc and generally fretting about the parlous state of the planet.

Warwick Downes

Warwick Downes

As a result of having his own family Warwick decided to study osteopathy as a mature student. He graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in 1989 and returned to his childhood roots in Devon. His main interest is in Osteopathy in the Cranial Field. His practice has developed as a result of his experience of this gentle aspect of osteopathy and he has become a tutor in a postgraduate faculty, teaching this work to other osteopaths. 

He frequently attends postgraduate courses and meetings to expand his osteopathic horizons. Recently he has been on a course about visceral osteopathy, to do with perspectives on internal medicine.

Beyond osteopathy his interests are many and varied. Music is an important theme, and he enjoys playing in local ceilidh bands. You might even have seen him dancing with a morris side!
